We build on Ainslie's discussion of willpower by highlighting another common misconception in the literature: the conflation of self-control and willpower. In our commentary, we identify this issue and discuss the importance of recognizing willpower not as synonymous with self-control, but rather as a subset of self-control. We describe a set of upstream strategies as more effective alternatives to willpower.
我们以 Ainslie 的意志力讨论为基础，强调文献中的另一个常见误解：自我控制和意志力的混淆。在我们的评论中，我们确定了这个问题，并讨论了认识到意志力不是自我控制的同义词，而是自我控制的一个子集的重要性。我们描述了一组上游策略，作为意志力的更有效替代方案。
